This is due to regulations regarding max Watt Hour ratings for lithium batteries on planes. However we are still working on this.

Battery regulations are the weirdest goddamn thing. TSA forced me to stow batteries in checked in luggage when I literally pointed to the regulation (I had a copy on my phone just in case this exact scenario happened) that I had to bring it on carry on. Nope didn't care, I guess the battery looked scary

I had to pay like 80 bucks to check a random bag with those batteries.

Agreed - I understand the reasoning but it is frustrating.
